Obasanjo, CAN Raise Cash For Construction Of Bible Society Building

The Bible Society of Nigeria organized a fundraising event on Friday to help the organization build a new Bible House.
The event was hosted at Shepherd Hill Baptist Church in Lagos and was attended by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, who acted as the day’s Chairman; Daniel Okoh, President of the Christian Association of Nigeria; Stephen Adegbite, Chairman of CAN Lagos; and Evangelist Esther Ajayi, among others.

Obasanjo invited Christians in his inauguration speech to donate to provide a better structure for the BSN in order to keep the message of God alive.

The former President remarked that the present BSN headquarters building was unsuitable for the Christian organization.

“If the office of the Bible Society of Nigeria is as poor as the worst place, then we need a new and respectable building fitting the society,” he said.

On his part, the CAN President, who also stressed the need for a new building for the BSN, expressed the believe that the gathering will see to the need.
“I want to thank the Almighty God for making it possible, for granting us God health and traveling mercies to be able to converge in this place to do this fund raising so that we take away the shame of the Nigerian Christians. I believe that this gathering will be the beginning of new possibilities to happen to us as Nigerian Christians,” Okoh said.
During the programme, Obasanjo acknowledged the donations made by different organisations and called for more for the realisation of the project.On her part, Evangelist Ajayi promised to send an engineer to inspect the site for the building so as to ascertain the level of contribution to make.
